希言自然。

故飘风不终朝，
骤雨不终日。
孰为此者﹖
天地。

天地尚不能久，
而况于人乎﹖

故从事于道者，

道者同于道，
德者同于德，
失者同于失。

同于道者，
道亦乐得之；
同于德者，
德亦乐得之；
同于失者，
失亦乐得之。

信不足焉，
有不信焉。

A few words about the matter:

Flames don’t outlast the message,
Flamewars don’t outlast the thread.
What are the causes of these?
The total system.

If the works of the total system
can’t last forever,
how much less can anyone else’s, in fact?

So do business with Unix people.

Unix people are one with Unix,
Power people are one with Power,
(Lusers are one with Lossage.)

Being one with Unix people,
Unix must be happy with them.
Power too is happy with them.
(Even being one with lusers counts.)

Trusting’s not enough, in fact;
Having’s not trusting, either.
